small circle jigs may be included with some routers, let's check and add them here!
Patrick made a 3D printed circle cutting jig for our Makita DRT50. To use, drive a screw through the small disc so the jig can freely spin around this point and set the desired radius by moving the router along the guide rods. Cutting range is ~200-720 mm ⌀ (depending on the router bit used).
more self-built options: look for "circle routing jig" or "Fräszirkel" online!
- tip by Wood Magazine on Instagram - advantages: circle size pretty much as small as you want, works with regular base plate/parallel guides, screw for fine tuning (M6: 1 mm/turn!)
- "Smart Router Circle Jig" by Marius Hornberger - advantages: easily exchanged routers, no cable tangling (router can rotate freely)
